September 28, 2007 Kevin Youkilis rested his sore wrist again Thursday, though he was available to pinch hit, the AP reports. He's had just 51 at-bats this month. |
|
September 26, 2007 Kevin Youkilis missed his eighth straight game Tuesday due to a sore wrist, the AP reports. Terry Francona is hoping to get Youkilis back in the lineup Wednesday. |

September 24, 2007 It appears unlikely that Kevin Youkilis will be able to return to action on Tuesday. "I don't know," manager Terry Francona told the Boston Globe. "I'd love for him to play, but I would say, probably not." Youkilis is expected to test his bruised right wrist by taking batting practice Monday, and off-day for the Red Sox, but unless he has an unexpectedly good session, he won't be back in the mix Tuesday. |
|
September 23, 2007 The Red Sox have ruled Kevin Youkilis for Sunday's game, according to the Boston Globe. They'll wait to see if he's ready to return from his bruised right wrist after Monday's off-day. |
|
September 22, 2007 Kevin Youkilis had an MRI taken of his bruised right wrist. "I got good news from my MRI," said Youkilis, according to the Boston Globe. "No fracture, just inflammation in the joint." Youkilis hasn't played since being struck on the joint by a pitch last Saturday. He'll have to get through a quality batting practice session before returning to the lineup, so he may not be ready until after the weekend. |
|
September 20, 2007 Kevin Youkilis, recovering from a bruised right wrist, took some dry swings Wednesday and also did some throwing, according to the Boston Herald. "He's still really sore," manager Terry Francona said. "I think there's a difference between doing (the drills) and playing in a game, but it is a good step." There is currently no date set for Youkilis' return. |
|
September 19, 2007 Kevin Youkilis played catch Tuesday but is not ready to return, the AP reports. "We're doing everything we can but I don't know how you can go faster than the healing will allow," manager Terry Francona said. Youkilis was hit by a pitch from New York's Chien-Ming Wang on Saturday and has not started since. |
|
September 17, 2007 The Red Sox were without Kevin Youkilis for a second straight game Monday because of his injured wrist. The Associated Press reports he was able to do some exercises, but the wrist is still swollen. He was hit by a pitch on Saturday and will likely miss at least a couple more games. |
|
September 17, 2007 Kevin Youkilis was held out of Sunday's lineup due to a bruised right wrist, and he doesn't expect to play tonight against the Blue Jays, according to the Boston Herald. "Youk's really sore on the inside part of his wrist, which I think is understandable," said manager Terry Francona before the game. "He'll receive his treatment and we'll see where that progresses. I think everyone acknowledges that he's a pretty tough kid. Hopefully this will maybe (sideline him) just (last night) - that would be nice." This doesn't appear to be an injury that will keep Youkilis for an extended period of time, so we have to think he'll be back within a day or two. |

Just one of those things I've been playing with for the last few weeks." Youkilis is considered day-to-day, but he's expected to return to the lineup soon. Eric Hinske replaced him at first on Monday. |

February 8, 2007 Kevin Youkilis said he just "started feeling normal again" this week after battling an abdominal strain late last season, according to the Boston Herald. "Usually, I just take a month to rest and then I get right back at it," said Youkilis. "The month passed and it was still there in November. I could do some cardio work but I couldn’t do any sprints or anything like that. I was worried that I had a sports hernia, but I checked out OK. They said it was just a lower abdominal strain. Even so, it’s nothing that I’d want to go through again." He said he learned that he should ask for an occasional day off to keep from wearing down too much. |
